Mbt's mobs
by wchylpiper
Mbt's mobs adds eight living statues made from different materials, each with custom animations and sounds, for Forge on 1.20.1.
What it does
The statues range from wood and stone types that behave close to vanilla mobs to higher-tier ones with unique combat traits that are hard to defeat with ordinary weapons. The difficulty spread is wide, so a fight can be light or very demanding depending on which statue is placed.
The mod is meant for creative testing: a player can build a custom mob arena and place overpowered statues in it to see how they hold up. It also includes a removal tool that erases a statue instantly, whatever its strength, which keeps cleanup simple after a test. The author describes it as a mob battle playground more than a survival add-on, and states that the statues were designed around normal survival gameplay, where some of the advanced ones can feel unfair.
Installation needs Forge for 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The latest file is 1.1.1.1.0 for 1.20.1, published 2026-08-04. The code is released under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
